Solve the 4 by 4 Rubiks Cube ,Easy!

Introduction: Solve the 4 by 4 Rubiks Cube ,Easy!

Lear how to solve the 4 by 4 rubiks cube as easy as tying a shoe. just not as fast lol

you should already know how to solve the Rubik's 3 by 3 before learning to solve the 4 by 4 but if you don't that's ok it will just take a lot longer to grasp.

Step 1: Terminoligy

this step will show you how i will refer to the cube and how to do the specific moves you must do to complete it.

Step 2: Centers

Centers are very important ,yet so simple to quad up.

There is basic just this one move to finish this step you can do the same move backwards if the pieces are in a different order. Like this r' u' r that's if they're switched. and if you have a piece on the back of the cube and you are trying to get it to the front just do this. l B' l

so just do that a bunch of times until you have every side together.

Step 3: Are Your Centers in the Right Places?

this is the order the colors should be in just so long as you have a normal Rubik's cube.

Get BLUE on the top. then look down on one of the sides you should see Yellow then looking to the left of you yellow should see RED more to the left is WHITE more to the left is ORANGE than on the bottom should be GREEN. I like to remember the order by saying blue mustard blood milk oranges lettuce.

If they are not in that order you will have to do this move to get them in the right place.

picture will show you how to switch them. odds are it wont only be one that needs to be switched some times you might need to move al of them but if you pay attention while you make the position of the centers that will help.

ok so you have some off brand cube and that's not the right order. well look at the corners they will show you the way.

Step 4: Edge Pairing

all most done!

pretty simple the only thing you have to look out for is if the top layer is paired up.

you will have to find the pieces you need. and put them in the right places this is how it has to be arranged.

So what happens if I don have 3 left to pair up? you might ask.go to the last step called special moves you have a common error that happens only on the 4 by 4 making it a lot harder to solve with out a guide.

Step 5: Solve It!

ok now that you have all the edges paired and the centers quaded up.

It's now time to solve it! Since you wont be turning the mid slices for the solving you can just pretend that it's a 3 by 3 isn't that neat. so since I'm lazy and don't want to re make an instructabbleyou can use the 3 by 3's instructible!

If you already know exactly how to solve the 3 by 3with out any instructions that great just do it on your own!

The stop motion animation seen below is the stapes that will follow in order to solve the 3 by 3 looks simple doesn't it.

Mine is 48 seconds. Since I'm from an area where everyone is easily amused, I 'm already famous at my school for being able to solve it. The other day I was solving it and four teachers were just staring the whole time.
